Winner: Montee Ball, RB, Denver Broncos

One of the biggest surprises of the second day of the 2013 NFL draft was that Alabama running back Eddie Lacy wasn't the first player at his position off the board.

Or the second.

Or even the third.

The third running back drafted was actually Wisconsin tailback Montee Ball, who rushed for over 1,800 yards and 22 touchdowns for the Badgers in 2012.

Ball was chosen by the Denver Broncos with the 58th overall pick, and with 2012 starter Willis McGahee a potential release candidate, Ball looks to be in line to be the early-down back for the Broncos this season.

Ball may not be the most explosive of backs, but playing in the prolific Denver offense, he could flirt with double-digit touchdowns and fantasy RB2 value.

Winner: Chris Ivory, RB, New York Jets

Not all of the winners in fantasy football from the 2013 NFL draft were rookies.

On Friday, the New York Jets and New Orleans Saints swung a deal that had been in the works for some time, with the Saints sending running back Chris Ivory to the Big Apple in exchange for a fourth-round pick.

The fourth-year pro was buried on the depth chart in New Orleans behind Mark Ingram, Darren Sproles and Pierre Thomas, but Ivory has an excellent shot at emerging from training camp as the lead back for the Jets.

Ivory rushed for over 700 yards as a rookie and has averaged at least 4.7 yards a carry in each of his three NFL seasons.

The 25-year-old will all but certainly see a career high in touches this year, and there's substantial sleeper value to be had here.

Winner: Aaron Dobson, WR, New England Patriots

Aaron Dobson certainly isn't the most talented wide receiver chosen in the 2013 NFL draft, and in fact it was more than a little shocking when the Marshall standout was selected by the New England Patriots with the 59th overall pick.

However, in fantasy football talent is only one consideration. Situation is another.

In that respect, the 6'3", 210-pounder just vaulted onto the fantasy football radar, as situations don't get much better than this.

Dobson would appear to have an inside track to start as a rookie on the Patriots' high-powered offense, which could easily translate into fantasy WR3 value in 2013.

Loser: Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, Free Agent

Running back Ahmad Bradshaw has been looking for work since the New York Giants released him early in the offseason.

After what transpired during the NFL draft, that search may go on for a while.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers, two teams that had been mentioned as potential suitors for Bradshaw's services, addressed the running back position in the draft, ending speculation that Bradshaw could land with those teams.

Now, even if the 27-year-old does find a new home, it will all but certainly be as a reserve, so despite topping 1,000 yards on the ground in 2012, Bradshaw's fantasy value has effectively flat-lined.

Loser: Jermaine Gresham, TE, Cincinnati Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Jermaine Gresham posted the best statistical season of his three-year NFL career in 2012, setting career highs in catches and yards while finishing among the top 10 fantasy options at his position for the first time.

However, Gresham also graded out as the worst tight end in the entire NFL according to Pro Football Focus, and the Bengals addressed the position with the selection of Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert in the first round of the NFL draft.

The Bengals didn't draft Eifert in the first round for him to sit, which sent Gresham's fantasy value into a free-fall.
